I'm listening to the songs now; started with the Hana Vu one, and considering that I just released a podcast episode on single takes, this certainly seemed apropos

1) Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue
2) Beastie Boys - Sabotage
3) Garbage - Vow
4) Odylife - Damas Swing Orchestra
5) Caroline Polachek - Welcome to My Island
6) Mark Lanegan - Dead on You
7) Hana Vu - Keeper
8) Nation of Language - Sole Obsession
9) HMLTD - Satan, Luella and I
10) Yuridia, Angela Aguilar - Qué Agonía
11) Evergrey - King of Errors
12) Joe Cocker - When the Night Comes
13) The Record Company - Off the Ground
14) Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground


Lots of good ones here. Hard to compete against two of the greatest songs ever released in pop music. Dylan, who is the only person who matters, with one of his best ever, understanding the human heart and loss better than any other dipshit who ever grabbed a guitar. And The Beastie Boys, writing a song that is just as likely to bring me pure joy as it to make me want to throw a chair at somebody.

Round 2

Patti LaBelle - Stir It Up

@mistique could you edit your post just in case Garbage gets missed. I know you didn't rate it highly but I didn't see it at all until I went to copy it to tell you you'd missed it off your list. Of course, Cap's probably got better eyes than me.

Round 2

Body Count - There Goes The Neighbourhood

I am in! Will post my song when I finish work in a couple of hours.

The sad thing for me is that this is all true. I just wish his performance didn't put my teeth on edge so badly. The guy is clearly a genius - just one I can't stand listening to. Oh well, my loss.
